Taranaki DHB is calling for the return of hundreds of oximeters, which have been loaned out to Covid patients and are yet to come back. 

Oximeters are small sensors that clip onto your finger to measure your pulse and blood oxygen levels and are loaned out to cases so they can monitor their symptoms without having to go to hospital. 

The DHB says stocks are running low, and since the oximeters cost 90 bucks each, they'd rather get their old ones back than shell out for new ones. 

Gillian Campbell, COO of Taranaki DHB, joined Heather du Plessis-Allan.
